I actually watched the hearings on CSPAN...
You could tell that the politicians, the auto executives, the lawyers, and the union bosses knew the outcome. The whole thing was a show trial, a formality, lots of lip service to the taxpayers, but nobody asked the ultimate question of why I (and YOU) should pay for someone else’s poor business decisions.
The ultimate question is: Who is going to buy the damned cars?
Not me.
Detroit only makes one car I want... a Corvette.
